Show overview
Retro Wars has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 201 episodes. That works out to roughly 270 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 9m and 1h 30m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Leisure show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 15 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Daniel Carroll.
